👀💭 According to recent research, there is evidence of a 4th #Pyramid which was said to be dismantled in 1759, & it took 10 months. This pyramid would have been different from the others, around 100 ft smaller than the others and apparently had a cube on top. #Archaeology #Giza

👀💭 P2: This so called tomb is located on the #Giza Plateau, which is believed by some #Egyptologists to be a 4th #Pyramid of Giza. It was identified as a pyramid by John Shae Perring & Colonel Howard Vyse who visited the site in 1837–1838. #Archaeology #Megalithic #Ancient

#Assad's regime, its supporters & a plethora of uninformed commentators are driving a call for punitive sanctions on the regime to be removed to facilitate aid delivery to #Syria.
This is absolute nonsense.
It has no basis in facts.
It's nothing but a regime talking point.

How ISLAMIZATION occurs when

Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under

👀💭 The builders of the great #Pyramid of #Giza knew something that we still don't. We remain perplexed by the complexity & precision of it. It’s engineered & constructed with designs of intricacy & functional in nature with unparalleled still in these modern times.

👀💭 P1: #Pyramid power refers to the theory that the ancient #Egyptian pyramids & objects of similar shape can confer a variety of benefits. There is a substantial amount of evidence to suggest that in fact is the main purpose of the construction of the pyramids. #Archaeology

With a population of 100 million, that horrific percentage means that Egypt has the greatest number of women and girls who have experienced FGM/C of any country in the world.

Northwestern #Syria — #Idlib & #Aleppo in particular — have suffered 12yrs of brutal conflict. More than 65% of the basic infrastructure of the area is destroyed or heavily damaged.
Tonight’s earthquake couldn’t have hit a more vulnerable region.
An absolute disaster.

Utterly horrific reports coming from all across NW #Syria - every town I’ve heard from has dozens of buildings flattened. People stuck under the rubble.
Any many, many casualties — including children.
@SyriaCivilDefe will be heroes tonight, working amid heavy rain & sleet.

#earthquake with epicenter reportedly in #Turkey was felt throughout the region. Many people i know woke up to the shake. Some went into streets. #lebanon #jordan #Syria
This is strongest #earthquake I felt since #egypt’s 1992 destructive one. In #beirut, waking up in middle of night to shaking building brought back terrifying memories of #aug4 #beirutblast in 2020. Where to hide?
This time, I am in a new building with 2 four-legged dependents and no @leenasaidi to pull me out of house. It took a few minutes to regain composure. Still contemplating what to do with drake and smudge

Went to visit the renovated synagogue in #Alexandria last week, with three other Europeans and one Egyptian. However, they did not let the Egyptian in. "Egyptians are not allowed," they said at the gate #Egypt
One added, 'because of the religion', but it's not clear to me whether Christian Egyptians could enter or not. The police guards were quite friendly and apologetic about it. "Orders from high up," they excused themselves #Egypt #Alexandria
I remember attending the reopening of the synagogue at a big press event in 2020. The synagogue was a symbol of #Egypt's diversity and tolerance between world religions, the minister said in his speech, celebrating Judaism as part of Egyptian history and civilisation #Alexandria
👀💭 This is the Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan, Egypt stands 137 feet (42m) tall and weighs 1200 tons lies in the ancient quarries near #Aswan, #Egypt. This gigantic piece of rock was intended to be erected as an #obelisk, but for some reason it was left unfinished.

👀💭 The ⬜️White box shows a crack on the obelisk, 🔵Blue shows the quarrying process around the obelisk, & the 🟥Red/Pink indicates a sculpting technique before the prime finish. I theorize this #obelisk may have been a failed attempt by a #civilization thereafter. #Archaeology
👀💭 The 🔵Blue box shows the same technique pattern used to sand down & sculpt the #obelisk, while the ⚪️White box highlights a slightly different technique than the blue, you just have to close closely. The ↪️arrow indicates the difference in finished from the near by surface.
